Difficult to fill cup with coffee without spilling (carafe lid leaks)3. Carafe lid is sometimes difficult to snap into placeI only keep it because it is small and I'm the only coffee drinker at home. Good cup of coffeeCons:1.
One learns the first time not to stand directly in front when attempting to lift lid5. Also, I am too lazy to return it. Power button cannot be turned-on with one hand6.
The cons far outweigh the pros of this little machine.Pros:1. If you lift the reservoir lid (which also holds the hot water dispenser) at the end of the cycle, water that had formed on the underside of the lid will spill back onto the boiling element and shoot steam and drops of boiling water on you hands and at your face. Someday, whimsy will present a new machine to me.

This is the only machine I have found to fit on our countertop without having to be moved daily.you'll love this compact.Cuisinart has products that are funtional & affordable and withstand the test of time.enjoy your Java. This is a perfect coffee maker if you have limited counter space and low cabinets.
This lid is different than my glass carafe version and even then, with the Mr. I can live without the coffeemaker shutting off after 30 minutesI purchased this 4-cup coffeemaker after I broke my second (spare) glass carafe of my 4-cup Mr. It is amazing that the cost to replace that carafe is nearly the cost of a new coffeemaker.
The carafe should last long after the coffee maker stops working.CONS: I cannot pour every last drop of coffee easily from the stainless steel carafe. The warming pad shuts off after 30 minutes. Coffee was difficult to keep clean (the water sprinkling area above the coffee basket).PROS: The coffee maker's drip arm (so far) remains clean after use. My old Mr.
I also find it slightly annoying that Cuisinart found it necessary to turn off the heating plate after 30 minutes although I'm sure it is a safety feature with a carafe I cannot see through. I think that the design of the Cuisinart helps keep the coffee from splashing back onto the drip arm and lid which keeps this area very clean. Coffee maker (got it as a gift over 14 years ago). Coffee I need to align the lid opening to the spout like I do with this version.I don't know if it is just the black color of the parts but the brew basket and coffee maker drip arm have remained clean after brewing over the eight months I've owned and used it.
I do not find the carafe lid annoyingly difficult to remove or place in position. I won't need to worry about cracking or breaking this stainless steel carafe.One minor complaint I have with the carafe is that the plastic rim that makes up the pouring lip/lid holder/handle assembly prevents pouring every last drop of coffee. I've never damaged a glass carafe from "boiling" it dry.
I really love this coffeemaker.Since I am the only coffee drinkerin our household, this is perfect.It makes just the right amount for one large mug or two cups and the coffee is good and hot.
We've all had the problem, so it's unlikely a user error. My mom also thought they were insulated when she bought it, but it's not. My mom bought 3 of these for Christmas: one for me, my sister, and my grandma. I've checked to make sure the top is snapped on correctly, I've tried pouring at different speeds; nothing helps. I'm unhappy with the product and would not recommend it. The carafe on ALL THREE of them spills when you pour from it. It somehow leaks sneakily down the front as you pour.
